Stretches the boundaries of the cozy mystery by being set in bustling London with all sorts of villains afoot, and the worst of the nasty plots tucked inside a plastic duck! But the adventures are rollicking, except perhaps for the race through the sewers between Regent's Park and Hyde Park. Characters so alive with their own quirks and nothing ever gets really silly. No wonder the cover blurb is by M.C. Beaton of happy Hamish Macbeth fame. Lovely triangle engagement choice plot cliffhanger, and action all over the place--almost cannot read it fast enough. Really good, relaxing read! Barrister Reggie Heath wants nothing more than to propose to his actress girlfriend Laura, but all of London seems to be conspiring against him. Most of it has to do with Sherlock Holmes' fan mail, which Reggie continues to receive due to his address: an elderly Taiwanese translator comes to consult on nursery rhymes, an American heiress tries to will him her fortune, the usual. Then his main romantic rival gets himself kidnapped, some irritating children's toys take on startling significance, and a mysterious buyer wants to evict him. A highly improbable but fast-paced and enjoyable mystery.
